2.3 Application area
Due to the high pressure point load, it is frequently not possible to use
winches or hydraulic lifting gear when dealing with heavy, unstable loads.
In such cases the advantages of Vetter lifting bags become very much ap-
parent:
9 Very light
9 Low pressure point loading
9 Very flat in design
9 Can be used in any position
As already known, air distributes itself evenly on all sides. The ideal shape of
a pressure container is spherical. With flexible pressure containers, such as
the lifting bag, the top and bottom as well as sides bulge.
With lifting bags this bulging, especially of the top and bottom, could da-
mage the bag when pressed against sharp objects and the bag may be-
come cut, punctured or abraded.
Danger of damage to the pressurized walls of the
bag.
